In 2007 Saskatchewan artist Heather Benning transformed an abandoned farmhouse in a southwestern Manitoba field into a giant dollhouse and I think it's lovely.
"I wanted to show the passage of time … I was able to show what it looked like before it was left, but then what it looks like now, you know, 35 years later," said Benning.
"I chose to leave the porch on there, which is rotted out, and [leave] everything to look quite rustic on the outside."
Benning said she was inspired by abandoned farmhouses close to her childhood home near Humboldt, Sask.
